What is the best trolling motor mount for this kayak?
I am considering picking up this hobie mirage outfitter for ocean fishing and am eyeing a 55lb (24in) thrust trolling motor but not sure what options I have for mounting. Any recommendations?

Bixpy or water snake with the pod mount.

How can I mount this type of motor on that specific kayak ?
I dont undestand why you’d ever need a 55lb thrust motor on a Kayak TBH, unless you are literally wanting to get on plane and go balls to the wall to get across the lake 15 seconds quicker and risk tipping over.
